NECKTIE Filed Sept. 19. 1929 INVEEU'OR 33 %AM4Q 4 ATTORNEY Patented Sept. 29, 1931 PATENT OFFICE GEORGE EDWARD FIGG, OF NEW YORK, 1\T Y.

Application filed September 19, 1929. Serial No. 393,699.

The invention relates to a necktie, as described in the present specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings that form part of the same.

The invention consists essentially of the novel features of construction pointed out in the claim for novelty following a description containing an explanation in detail of an acceptable form of the invention.

The objects of the invention are to furnish a frame for tying the four in hand necktie or what is otherwise known as a sailors knot; to insure the close fit of the necktie when in position in the collar so that it will conform to the shape of the neck; to simplify the attachment of neckties for adornment; and generally to provide a means of maintaining a sailors knot orfour in hand tie in constant readiness for attachment to a collar,

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the tie frame. s

Figure 2 is a front elevational view of the frame showing the necktie partially attached to the frame.

Figure 3 is a front elevational view showing the necktie in readiness for tying the knot.

Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the necktie made up on the frame.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the various figures.

Referring to the drawings, the frame indicated by the numeral 10, is formed with the upper transverse outwardly curved bar 11 extending into the end loops 12 and 13 from which the lower transverse bar 14 extends.

The lower transverse bar 1 1 is centrally dipped to form the downwardly extending knot support 15 which is also curved outwardly.

The end loops are of slightly different formation, the loop 13 having a strai ht bar while the loop 12 has the V-shaped ar for the engagement of the band hook 16 secured to one end of the elastic band 17 the other end being secured to the bar of theloop 13.

The narrower portion of the necktie is looped and inserted between the bars from the front of the form and then pushed into the end loops of the form which brings the latter in the position shown in Figure 3. The larger end of the necktie is then crossed over the small end and placed under and around the smaller end. The larger end is then brought up behind the tie form and tie length therebehind and over the tie form and through the partly made up front-portion of the tie in the usual manner of making a sailors knot.

What I claim is A necktie frame comprising a closed wire loop having at one end a neckband vertical bar and a V-shaped hook catch at the other, an arcuate bar joining these ends and a forwardly projecting V-shaped bar also join ing the ends and projecting outwardly in the center to hold out the knot of the tie, and a necktie tied on said bars.

Signed at New York, N. Y., this 1st day of August, 1929.
